…but savor the sweet, sweet, schadenfreude. Henry Payne of the Detroit News explores “The irony of Jesse Jackson’s stripped SUV": Add Jesse Jackson’s ride to prominent vehicles being stripped in Detroit.
Following the embarrassing news that Mayor Dave Bing’s GMC Yukon was hijacked by criminals this week, Detroit’s Channel 7 reports that the Reverend’s Caddy Escalade SUV was stolen and stripped of its wheels while he was in town last weekend with the UAW’s militant President Bob King leading the “Jobs, Justice, and Peace” march promoting government-funded green jobs.
Read that again: Jackson’s Caddy SUV was stripped while he was in town promoting green jobs.
Add Jesse to the Al Gore-Tom Friedman-Barack Obama School of Environmental Hypocrisy. While preaching to Americans that they need to cram their families into hybrid Priuses to go shopping for compact fluorescent light bulbs to save the planet, they themselves continue to live large.
“We need an economy that creates employment that can’t be shipped overseas,” the Green Rev wrote for CNN about the march. “Home-grown American labor will be installing windmills and solar panels. A green economy is not an abstract concept.”
Well, its certainly abstract to Jesse, but I digress. As Mort Sahl once said of Jackson, he’s a man of the cloth — cashmere! No word yet if the pacifistic man of God will do this if he catches the vandals...

Jessee HiJack-son’s Caddy stolen.
Hilarious, La Lydia.
One of the great examples of poetic justice in our times. Now if only the “Rev.” Fatboy Sharpton would get mugged.
Did nothing?? I did something, I LMAO.
Jessee HiJack-son’s “Caddy” stolen.
Hate being stereotyped? Don’t live the stereotype.
REv. JJ got the shakedown applied to his own SUV this time around. Probably by brothas in da hood! Detroit ain’t exactly ‘Hymietown’....
Great quote from Mort Sahl. I hadn’t heard that one before. LOL!
Is there some problem between the Moochers and Looters now or are we just now finding out they merely one in the same?
I suspect Nixon’s Dirty Trick Squad /sarc.
No, it was that “home-grown American labor” squad....
HEY JESSE. REDISTRIBUTE THIS!!!!!!
BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Yep, you figure that the Rev. Jackson created multiple job opportunities for the youth gangs of Detroit with his SUV being stolen. They stripped down the vehicle and probably sold the parts and got a nice payday out of the deal. Jackson was supporting local businessmen in Detroit whether he knows it or not.
It it true that Andrew Breitbart is offering $100,000 for a picture of JJ taking the bus instead? (no)
